    Such a great song. I've loved this song since I first heard it in 1975. This particular version was brilliant. The instrumentals before and after the singing were incredible.
    I've watched this video well over 100 times in the last year. During the final instrumental, the guitar and piano play the exact same notes together perfectly. It gives me the chills every time.
    Wonderful reaction as usual my friend.

    I had this song as a 45 record when I was a child. I always loved horses & it made me cry. Til this day everytime I hear this song, I still shed some tears, just as I did as a young girl: ) I look forward to your reactions, you are my favorite reactor on you tube. If you enjoyed the story in this song, you would also enjoy “Shannon” by Henry Gross. Another one that brings back memories of childhood innocence & naivety

      I'm right there with you. When I was young I couldn't listen to this because it broke my heart thinking about the poor horse being lost in a blizzard. Now I appreciate how beautiful the music is, but I still shed a few tears when I hear it. This live version is on my playlist so I hear it often & stop whatever I'm doing to listen everytime it comes on.

    Neil Sedaka, huge and great performer from the 50s-early 80s. "Solitaire," ruclips.net/video/fULjbnrWn_k/видео.html

    I will probably never ride or even play the piano, again, but one day I hope to be free.

    In the mid 80s, we went to a SMALL restaurant in Atlanta that featured singers and comedians. The wonderful Michael Martin Murphy performed, but his opening act was a comedian.
    He shared with us this was his last stop before he started filming a new TV show. "Home Improvement's" Tim Allen was that gentleman.

And you didn’t miss anything, from the lovely piano, to the guitar solo at the end, to the singer’s beautiful voice. I’ve watched other reactors to this song, and believe it or not, one of them missed the mark entirely. How, I don’t know. I am so glad I watched your reaction afterwards! Love your channel!

    Agree with Ann Lawery and the replies to her post. I've seen Michael Martin Murphy many times; both with his Band tour and his Acoustic Guitar tour. Always fun. You should check out a tune called "London Homesick Blues." Gary P. Nunn wrote the song while in London helping Michael Martin Murphy record an Album.. There is a popular live youtube video with Gary P Nunn playing piano and singing "London Homesick Blues"with Jerry Jeff Walker. Note: Nunn became a member of Jerry Jeff's band after returning home from London. The song became the theme music to the Austin City Limits TV music show for 20 plus years. Some refer to it as "The Armadillo Song." Lol

    This song is so well known by most anyone who ever rode a horse for any reason. So..very..beautiful. MMM has many Cowboy, and historic folk songs in his play list. He, and his music is loved by Cowboys everywhere. WILDFIRE, was a fantastic 'cross over' onto radio, was a huge hit, back in the day. Be sure to pull out "Ridin' Down the Christmas Trail to You" when Christmas rolls around again, my all time favorite Holiday song. So glad you love MMM and his Wildfire, tooo.

"Stand Back," "If Anyone Falls," "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around," "Rooms on Fire," "Gold Dust Woman," "Leather and Lace," "Dreams," "Sara," "Rhiannon," "Tusk," "Sara," "Gypsy," "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You," "I Can't Wait," "Silver Spring," "Whenever I Call You Friend " "Talk to Me" and "Sometimes It's a Bitch." Sorry so many, some are duets or with Fleetwood Mac. Some Fleetwood Mac/Stevie songs, were you old enough to remember them? "Landslide," "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around," "Edge of Seventeen," "Everywhere," "Don't Stop," "Go Your Own Way," "You Make Lovin' Fun," "Over My Head," "Little Lies," "Say That You Love Me" & "The Highway Man." Hopefully this wasn't everything you already knew. I know you like Nightwish, etc. so not sure!
